1107 Gathering of Like-Minds

 I love the way Cosmos are such delicate flowers and yet have a mind of their own, bending their stems every which way.  The reference photo for this painting was provided with permission by Holly Ann, a fellow member of the Chicago Gardeners Facebook Group.  I love painting white flowers, and paint them every chance I get, each incident being a steep learning experience.

I hope you like it.

1013 Stop and Smell the Flowers

 This is the second time I painted this subject.  The first painting went to my BFF for her birthday.

It's really a good learning experience to paint the same subject many times as the masters did.  It enables a painter to become more intimately involved with the subject.  I've been on the hunt for more pitchers.

983 Untroubled

Oh how I would love to be on that boat right now.  It looks so peaceful and tranquil and, well, untroubled.  My daughter took the reference photo for this painting a Mazomanie, Wisconsin.
